If you don’t want to join one of the ubiquitous tourist groups seen everywhere in Europe , but you want to go deeper into the culture, consider signing up for a Context Travel tour. This network of architects, historians, and art historians with 59 Ph.D.’s and 41 M.A.’s organizes walking seminars for intellectually curious travelers in Paris, Rome, Florence, Naples, Venice, New York and London. Small groups, priceless local knowledge and in-depth conversation. Just reading the descriptions of the walks and excursions makes me want to book a flight...as soon as the exchange rate gets better.
